Nagoya, the capital of Japan's Aichi Prefecture, stands as the beating heart of the Chukyo Industrial Area. Known globally for its automotive prowess, the region is also a critical hub for high-end manufacturing and food processing. As a leading Three-Piece Can Manufacturer, our strategic focus on the Nagoya market aligns with the region's demand for precision-engineered packaging solutions. In Nagoya, three-piece cans are not just containers; they are a vital component of a sophisticated supply chain that supports everything from the iconic local tea industry to specialized industrial lubricants used in Toyota’s manufacturing ecosystem.
The manufacturing status in Nagoya is characterized by a relentless pursuit of "Monozukuri" (the art of making things). Factories in the region are increasingly adopting AI-driven quality inspection and IoT-connected production lines. For the metal packaging sector, this means the integration of high-speed welding and real-time coating thickness monitoring. The local commercial environment in Nagoya rewards suppliers who can provide consistent, food-safe, and durable three-piece tinplate cans that meet the rigorous standards of the Japanese market.
Nagoya's heavy industry relies on three-piece cans for specialized oils, waxes, and chemical additives, requiring reinforced structural integrity.
From local "Miso" specialties to preserved seafood, our cans provide superior oxygen barriers to maintain the unique flavors of Aichi cuisine.
Aligning with Nagoya's "Green City" initiatives, our tinplate cans are 100% recyclable, contributing to a circular economy.
Sunrise Group Co., Ltd., founded in 1992, is headquartered in the Fuzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone. It is a diversified, publicly listed company (Stock Code: 002752) with a strong, long-standing presence in the metal packaging industry. The Group combines various functions, including metal packaging manufacturing, beverage filling, collaborative marketing services, equipment research and development, supply chain management, and industrial services, thereby creating a comprehensive and competitive value chain.
With over 33 years of continuous development, Sunrise Group has established a solid market position. The company operates 31 manufacturing facilities across 28 cities in China and Southeast Asia, including Cambodia, Indonesia, and Vietnam. These facilities produce three-piece tinplate cans, two-piece aluminum cans, and aluminum bottles.
The global metal packaging industry is undergoing a digital transformation, and Nagoya is at the forefront of this shift. We observe three major trends defining the future of Three-Piece Can production:
Our commitment to Nagoya’s industrial sector involves the deployment of Soudronic high-speed welding technology, ensuring the most reliable side seams in the industry. This is crucial for "reinforced" cans used in high-pressure filling environments.
Our lines incorporate Swiss Soudronic, German KAMPF and Hinterkopf, UK Crabtree, Japanese Fuji, and US STOLLE/BELVAC equipment. These advanced technologies provide a solid guarantee for high-quality, stable products.
Certified by ISO9001, ISO22000/FSSC22000, ISO14001, and ISO45001. We ensure product quality, food safety, and environmental protection at every stage of the manufacturing process.
Our labs comply with GB 4806.10-2016 National Food Safety Standards, detecting total migration and heavy metals. This technical support ensures we meet the stringent standards of the US, EU, and China.
Nagoya’s unique commercial mix creates diverse needs for our three-piece cans:
The booming craft coffee scene in Nagoya utilizes our 180ml and 240ml three-piece cans for cold brew and nitrogen-infused coffee, ensuring the preservation of volatile aromatic compounds.
For the Toyota-city industrial cluster nearby, our reinforced 500ml jars provide the chemical resistance needed for high-purity synthetic lubricants used in robotic assembly lines.
Aichi Prefecture’s fruits and vegetables are often processed into juices and purees. Our cans offer the shelf-stability required for global export from the Port of Nagoya.
Sunrise is committed to next-generation technologies like "Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, Cloud Computing, and the Internet of Things." Our Sunrise Yun Chuang Interconnected Industry Empowerment Platform enhances our operational and security capabilities, ensuring we remain a leader in the competitive Nagoya and global markets.
Schedule a Factory VisitTo understand why Nagoya’s industrial sector trusts our products, one must look at the intricate engineering of the three-piece can. Unlike two-piece cans which are drawn from a single piece of metal, the three-piece can consists of a cylindrical body, a bottom end, and a top lid. This structure provides unmatched versatility in height and diameter ratios, making it the preferred choice for a vast range of volumes—from our compact 145ml cans to our robust 430g containers.
The manufacturing process begins with high-quality tinplate or TFS (Tin-Free Steel) sheets. These sheets are first coated and printed using high-precision offset lithography. In our Nagoya-oriented production lines, we use UV-cured inks that provide vibrant colors and sharp details, essential for the premium branding expected in the Japanese market. After printing, the sheets are slit into individual body blanks.
The next stage is Side-Seam Welding. Using Soudronic technology, the body blank is rolled into a cylinder and the edges are welded together using an electric resistance process. This creates a seam that is nearly as strong as the metal itself. To prevent corrosion, the welded seam is immediately covered with a side-seam stripe—either a liquid or powder lacquer—ensuring that the product inside never touches bare metal.
Finally, the bottom is "seamed" onto the body. This involves a double-seaming process that creates a mechanical interlock between the body and the end, with a sealing compound tucked inside to ensure a hermetic (airtight) seal. This structural integrity is why Nagoya’s heavy industries choose our reinforced models for automotive chemicals that might undergo significant temperature fluctuations during transport.
Operating out of 31 facilities, Sunrise Group ensures that our Nagoya clients benefit from a robust supply chain. Whether the cans are produced in our Fuzhou headquarters or our Southeast Asian plants, the quality remains uniform. Nagoya’s position as a major port city allows for seamless integration of our metal packaging into global trade routes. We provide comprehensive industrial services, including "change management + best practices," helping our clients optimize their filling lines for our cans.
Our digital transformation efforts, centralized through the Sunrise Yun Chuang Platform, allow for real-time tracking of orders. For a business in Nagoya, this means reduced lead times and lower inventory costs. We are not just a manufacturer; we are a strategic partner in the digital era of packaging.
